Reducing Environmental Costs whilst Maintaining Operational Effectiveness in Large Language Models through Chain Routing
Developed a routing system that intelligently directs LLM queries to the most cost- and energy-efficient model whilst preserving output quality — reducing computational waste without sacrificing capability. Implemented in Python using HuggingFace Transformers and PyTorch, and Dockerised for deployment on HPC infrastructure with workloads distributed across multiple GPUs. A version of my undergraduate dissertation.

LLM Chain Routing
My undergraduate dissertation, published as a research paper at KONVENS 2025. Developed a routing system that directs LLM queries to the most cost- and energy-efficient model whilst preserving output quality. Implemented in Python using HuggingFace Transformers and PyTorch, Dockerised for HPC deployment across multiple GPUs.
Teaching Robots to Walk
Implemented five deep RL algorithms (PPO, DPO, DDPG, TD3, SAC) from scratch in Python to train a quadrupedal MuJoCo robot. Our agents learned to sprint using emergent two-legged locomotion, far exceeding the baseline walking objective.
Graph & Minimum Spanning Tree
Visualisation tool for directed and undirected graphs — randomly generated or user-defined. Uses Prim's algorithm to find the minimum spanning tree from a specified node.
Mental Health Hackathon
Write messages to others when you're feeling good, receive them when you're having a rough day. Includes mood tracking over time to visualise progress. Built at a university hackathon.
Timebox Day Planner
A clean application for planning your day using the timeboxing technique. Built with Next.js, Tailwind CSS, and Shadcn UI.
